MEDICAL SOCIETY.[article abstracted]

The North Iowa Medical Society held its 13th annual meeting in the city council rooms, in McGregor, on June 4th. The president and vice president being absent, D.W. CHASE of Elkader was elected chairman pro tem.

L.A. MARRIAM and J.J. CLEMMER of Cresco, H.N. SILL, of Strawberry Point, and A. TRUMAN, of Kendalville, were duly elected members of the society. H.H. CLARK read a lenghty paper upon obstetrical, gave some advice when and how to use forecept, had used them twice in his practice. Dr. J.T.H. SCOTT then read a well written report of his practice for the last year and reported a very interesting and unusual case of hemmorage from the rupture of anurism in the throat. Dr. D.W. CHASE, of Elkader, gave a history and treatment of a lady who had recently died at that place. After much discussion it was decided that the disease was puerperal insanity and the immediate cause of death was the excessive use of Chlorofom administered by well meaning friends, against the advice of the physician. Dr. J.S. GREEN, reported a case of amputation of the thigh for bone necrosis of nine years standing. Dr. ANDROS read a paper on the treatment of fractures by the immovable dressings.

Monona was selected as the place to hold the next annual meeting. J.S. GREEN M.D., secretary.

--FROM CASTALIA.

Castalia is prospering, and using her means to make herself happy and all others who visit there. We have recently nearly completed a side-walk from the depot to the east end of town.

The Drug Store has changed hands and is now under the gentlemanly care of J.W. PRESTON.

Our Hotel has recently changed hands and is now in the care of Joseph CLOSE, a gentleman from the Western part of the state.

Dr. KNOWLS may be found at his old office ready to attend the wants of all.

Dr. WILLIAMS holds his office next door west of Drug Store.--FROM CLERMONT.

The past week our citizens have succeeded in forming a joint stock company for a foundry, those having money to invest can't do better than to purchase stock in said company.

The lecture of Mrs. POWERS, of Postville on education and duties of women was well spoken of by those competent to judge who attended it, the extreme weather prevented a great many from going and the failure to have it noticed by hand bills, are the only reasons why the church was not crowded.

Hans WINDEN the big man at C.K. SMITH's clothing store, feels so puffed up since taking stock in the Iron Foundry, that his uncle in Norway has sent him a Mecreschaum Pipe, the finest on I have ever seen, worth twenty-five dollars, in order to blow off his surplus gas.

The threatening look that I get occasionally, is a warning to me not to say anymore about Lawyers CAROM being a porket game, consequently I have to back down.
